GUEST SPEAKER: DAVE BRICKER

Traditional or Self-Publishing?

Sell Books or Get Bookings?

Should you find an agent or

self-publish?” ﻿

Dave Bricker is a speaker, editor, MFA designer, and award-winning author of ten books that include both fiction and non-fiction offerings. After spending years sailing in search of stories, he now works with writers, speakers and professionals who want to craft authentic messages that connect and engage. Dave has presented at the 2018 National Speakers Association annual convention, given workshops on Storytelling and PowerPoint for Toastmasters Leadership Institute, and won trophies for speech evaluation and humorous speaking. He’s also a pretty good jazz guitarist.

The title of his presentation is “Traditional or Self-Publishing? Sell Books or Get Bookings? Should you find an agent or self-publish?” Each path has advantages and disadvantages. Speaker, author, and editor Dave Bricker offers practical advice for authors on finding opportunities in publishing.
